WWE NXT Champion Carmelo Hayes vs. Bron Breakker will headline tonight’s NXT Battleground pay-per-view event.
To promote the bout, Hayes appeared on WWE Die Woche. You can check out some highlights from the interview below:
On his preference on which brand he would go to once he’s called up: “I’d probably rather go to Raw (if I was called up to the main roster). I mean yeah, I’d probably go to Raw. SmackDown’s so stacked and in a good way. I think I would benefit a lot being on Raw and I think that they could benefit a lot by having me. “
On his belief that SmackDown’s Grayson Waller will make the biggest impact the quickest on the main roster among the recent NXT call-ups: “I’d probably say Grayson Waller (is gonna make a big impact the quickest on WWE’s main roster post-NXT) and that’s not even biased. I just know his drive. I’ve been very close with him and I’ve trained closely with him and I’ve worked closely with him and I just know his passion and his drive and he has that relentless factor that I have as well. That you refuse to come in second, you refuse to accept less for yourself. He’s somebody that I see just taking the bulls by the horn and riding it all the way through, you know, given the opportunity so yeah, definitely would go with Grayson Waller but I mean, there’s a ton of talent, even Zoey Stark is killing it, J.D. McDonagh’s gonna be great, Pretty Deadly’s gonna thrive. There’s so many great talent that are up there that came from down here. I’m just super excited for them and excited to watch to see how it all plays out.”
